While carrying out interplanetary mission by moving spacecraft from outer planet to the inner planet, what is the value of the delta-v? Correct Answer Negative
The delta-v required to move the spacecraft from the outer planet to the inner planet is always negative because departure point is at the aphelion and the arrival point is at the perihelion. The speed of the spacecraft has to be reduced in otder to enter a lower- energy transfer orbit.
